3:19 pm
3:20 pm
>> rick: welcome back to midwest, home of key battle ground states that will shape the outcome of the presidential debate. local unemployment rate with the national trend. they're coming down a little bit. what impact if any should it can v on voters? we have the former chief of staff for joe manchin. ron, former communication director for the former house speaker, congressman dennis hastert. good to see you, gentlemen. ron, what we're seeing, the unemployment numbers coming out of wisconsin and ohio for example. does it help or hurt governor romney? >> both states have republican governors. republican governors are claiming that they create
3:21 pm
jobs. they need a foth create national policy to increase especially more jobs. in ohio, you have a state losing manufacturing jobs. in wisconsin, it's huge for economy. they elected republican senator and governor. >> rick: a lot of people say the numbers are misleading. ohio for example, lost 40,000 jobs. in the last year alone. >> i'm not sure it's what the voters in ohio feel. there are a couple of factors. they do believe the economy got better from where things were in terms of where in the beginning of the president's term.
3:22 pm
>> in the part of ohio, they're doing well. it depends on the automobile manufacturing jobs. the bottom line is the governor romney cannot win ohio, cannot become president. there are mathematical ways to see it happening otherwise. must-win state for him right now. the president is holding on to the lead. good sign and reflection voters feel positive about the economy. >> ron, what about that? so many jobs in ohio. were created or dependent on the automobile industry. it's an awkward position for governor romney to have had. how does he spin that to his
3:23 pm
favor. >> romney is the man with the plan. the man with the plan will win the election. not reminding voter what is you have done. >> romney is bringing up the five-point plan growing job on the economy. that is why obama is trying to debunk the plan. romney's momentum increasingcreg in ohio they are at a statistic tie according to national polling averages. in wisconsin. we never thought wisconsin would be in play. >> rick: i want to swift gears. we have a minute left and news breaking in the last half hour or so, from the "new york times." it comes two days before the final presidential debate to focus on foreign policy. according to the obama administration officials the u.s. and iran agreed for the first time to one-on-one talks about the iran nuclear program. what is your take?
3:24 pm
>> i think it's a positive step. no american, democrat or republican wants to go to war period. before you have military action you have to have diplomacy. exhaust all diplomacy. having negotiations one-on-one is a positive first step and it puts the president in a strong light. makes him look for lack of a better way to put it presidential. >> now we hear romney to respond this to, ron, monday night. he will be asked if you were president. will you sit down with iran and have one-on-one talks. if you were advising romney, what should he say to the question? >> it's interesting coming from monday. in the breaking news, israel was not informed of the talks. israel does not necessarily agree. they don't agree that the talks should take place. there is a danger that iran used talks to stall out, to
3:25 pm
drag these things out. he could keep the nuclear program going and growing getting toward the nuclear weapons capability. >> romney has ammunition on monday. the state of israel wasn't consulted on it. >> pin him down on whether he would follow through. >> he should say that he would consult with allies in the region with israel. the fact is, that is obama's weak point, it's israel in the last cycle. >> real fast. the real problem for mitt romney. the american public does not want another war. >> absolutely not. >> the argument -- that is absolutely true. they don't want another war. >> i agree. >> so in terms of negotiating
3:26 pm
potential resolution, it's tough to argue against negotiations. to basically suggest otherwise you should not negotiate. they may be a stalling tactic and it may not be. but it's tough to sit in a debate and look the american people in the eye figuratively speaking to say you don't want the negotiate. >> this is something that obama handled gingerly. choose the direction to take it. no one wants war. >> thank you. chris, ron, good to talk to you. >> juliet: government wants an end to illegal robo calls. a big reward for anyone who figures out how do it. we look at why it's a difficult problem coming up.

3:34 pm
if they get a match between that locket or cross and the individual, it could lead to arrest in the case. >> so before i let you go, the cross is significant. do the marks on the cross. does it mean anything. "s" do you think? >> "s" could lead to a name. is it the individual of the person who owned it? if any details come out linked to the attempted abduction of 22-year-old woman. could it be? yes. lead to the identity of jessica. >> juliet: do we know if it was left as calling card or fell off. >> if you look at the fact that jessica's back pack on

3:46 pm
vulnerable. i have been on the challenger side enough time. you are vulnerable on foreign policy. if you make a mistake. i think the other point is that both of the candidates, even though it is foreign policy will tie it domestic spending. you want for defense spending. a strong economy is the most important element of the national security. >> that is true. they will bring it back to what they want to talk about. >> juliet: that is the talking point. know we resonate with the public. who has the strongest position in your opinion? >> going in foreign policy debate the guy who can claim is commander in chief always has a bit of an edge. for romney as the challenger whose strength is on the economy, what he has to do is do no harm. he has to convince people not necessarily that he is better
